Aboriginal Lands Parliamentary Standing Committee: Aboriginal Languages in South Australia

Adjourned debate on motion of Hon. J.S.L. Dawkins:

That the report of the committee on Aboriginal languages in South Australia be noted.

(Continued from 3 June 2020.)

The Hon. J.S.L. DAWKINS (20:05): I stand tonight to firstly note that my Legislative Council colleagues on the committee, the Hon. Tammy Franks and the Hon. Kyam Maher, support this motion but did not wish to delay the business of the chamber. I think they were also very supportive of me putting on the record, as I conclude this motion, that there has been quite a bit of community interest in the report from within Indigenous communities and certainly across non-Indigenous sections of South Australia and beyond.

I was pleased that InDaily did quite a comprehensive coverage of the work of the committee. I also had the great pleasure one evening recently of going on ABC radio Adelaide with Peter Goers to talk about Aboriginal languages at some length. With those words, I commend the motion to the chamber.

Motion carried.
